Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sacrificing Hue
"Little girl, it's getting dark, can we start acting?" Xiao Wuji lazily snuggled on the chaise longue, a pair of slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes reflected Ruan Wushuang's indifferent appearance of drinking tea.
"Action what?" Ruan Wushuang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup leisurely, and raised his eyes to look at him, a little puzzled and a little indifferent.
"Aren't you going to Ye Mansion?" Xiao Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, straightened up, and frowned slightly, could it be that he misunderstood what she meant? Didn't he go to Ye Mansion to find clues?
Looking at Ruan Wushuang's sudden smile, Xiao Wuji shook his head secretly, no, since there is the fox now, not to mention that he can go to Ye Mansion to search openly during the day, that is, whenever he goes, the people in Ye Mansion have to wait, what does that little girl want to do Sure enough, he can't guess at all.
Seeing the confusion on Xiao Wuji's face, Ruan Wushuang said with a smile: "There was such a fuss today, even if the murderer has anything to do with Liu Yu, he will definitely not take the risk to go to Ye Mansion to find Liu Yu, so we will go in vain tonight." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Wuji suddenly opened his mouth, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, so now that they have slept enough during the day, can they get up at night and raise a glass to Mingyue? But this is not bad, and they can also spend time with the little girl before the moon, isn't it beautiful! Thinking of this, Xiao Wuji raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"In that case, how about we go have a drink? I can't sleep anyway. Xiaojiji smiled and groaned.
"Have a drink, we still have business to do!" Ruan Wushuang said with a smile, and then stood up and brushed the corners of his robe.
"What's the matter?" asked Xiaowuji, standing up.
"When I came back from the day, I asked Xu Zhi to find out the news of Baihe. "She didn't really go to sleep, but sorted things out, if it was because she investigated the Huangyin case that Ye Huo was killed, for now, the person behind this has no way to investigate, then she can only find Liu Yu's breakthrough, or maybe Liu Yu and her husband Bai He killed Ye Huo!
"White cranes. Xiao Wuji muttered again, and then remembered that this person called Bai He was not the one they beat up last night?
Xiaowuji is not a stupid person, as soon as Ruan Wushuang said it, he knew in his heart that looking at the overall situation, the white crane is the only breakthrough now, and maybe this white crane is the murderer.
"What news about this person?" asked Xiaoji.
"Hmm. Ruan Wushuang nodded, naturally he found it, this white crane is a notorious figure in Bianyang City, specializing in stealing in the middle of the night, and the partiality government has not found evidence to arrest him, but this is also evidence-based, after all, what kind of official this side of Yangcheng is, it is obvious to all.
This person eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has a complete set of things, and loves to linger in the fireworks and willow alleys, and it just so happened that Xu Zhi found out that Bai He was in the largest green building in Bianyang City tonight - Rouge Pavilion.
"Yo, the two masters are a little face-to-face, it's the first time I've come. The old bustard twisted his buttocks and greeted him with a very charming smile.
The strong smell of rouge mixed with an inexplicable stench made Ruan Wushuang frown, and subconsciously took a step back, although it was not the first time she had come to this kind of place, but this old bustard not only had a strong smell of rouge, but also an indescribable smell of fox, even the rouge couldn't cover it.
On the contrary, Ruan Wushuang retreated, but Xiao Wuji smiled and said, "Yes, my brothers want to come to find a thrill." ”
As he spoke, his eyebrows moved slightly, and his fireworks eyes instantly floated a little red, as if he was shining, which made people fascinated, and even if he covered up his handsome appearance, his innate grace was enough to make people confused.
The old bustard was originally extremely dissatisfied with Ruan Wushuang's small actions, but when he saw Xiaoji, he forgot everything, raised his hand and patted Xiaowuji's shoulder, and by the way, he also threw a wink, and said in an extremely ambiguous tone.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely make you excited tonight. After the words fell, he personally led Ruan Wushuang and the two to walk inside.
Seeing this, Ruan Wushuang couldn't help but look at Xiao Wuji with admiration, she was not impressed by Xiao Wuji because of the old bustard's ecstatic eyes, but because he was able to "talk and laugh" with the old bustard in such a thick and unpleasant environment! It was really admirable.
The old bustard caught a glimpse of Ruan Wushuang's expression, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, if it weren't for the sake of carelessness, I'm afraid the old bustard would have kicked her out.
Facing the white eyes of the old bustard, Ruan Wushuang silently opened his eyes, he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Yu Guang glanced at it, Xiao Wuji smiled secretly in his heart, and then coughed lightly: "Actually, I have a question I want to ask the girl." ”
The tone is warm and mellow, long and measured, and it makes people feel intoxicated when they listen to it, as if the beautiful son in front of him is expressing his heart to his beloved girl.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang's heart trembled, and his side eyes were full of incredulity, this was said by Xiaowuji...... Said ...... , The carefree Mowgli she knows has always been wanton and free, and she can't say that she has a temper, why is it like a different person now?
When the old bustard heard it, this is okay, she is a half-old, how long has it been since she heard someone call a girl, this voice is simply called to the bottom of her heart, the whole person is numb and crispy, and she can't help but feel a little more good about Xiaowuji.
"Oh, this boy can ask if he has anything. The old bustard said in a coquettish manner, but in fact, it was a little nondescript in the eyes of others. As he spoke, he pushed open the door in front of him with a twisted look.
When the people passing by around saw this scene, they couldn't help but slander in their hearts, and they all cast admiration at Xiaowuji.
Ruan Wushuang only felt that he was dizzy by a shocking thunderbolt, although he knew that Xiao Wuji was going to ask where Bai He was now, but this sacrifice was also a little bigger, this old bustard was also a lot of fun, just called the master, this will become a child! Thinking to himself, he followed Xiao Wuji into the door, and she covered the door with her hand as she walked behind her.
"So, I'll say it bluntly, I don't know if the white crane can be in the building?" Xiao Wuji smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, if he didn't want to find the white crane, he could still bear it, but thinking that it was to help the little girl, he would have endured it.
Thinking that he was unscrupulous and suave, when did he betray his hue in front of such goods? Thinking about it, I felt that my reputation was completely ruined.
"Of course it's here. Speaking of the white crane, the old bustard's expression couldn't help but turn cold, and the corners of his mouth were still disdainful.
"But what is Childe looking for these two flutes for? The old bustard, whose tone softened and his face was full of smiles, looked at Xiao Wuji and asked.
"Yes, I don't know if the girl will do me a favor and bring him here. "Xiao Wuji bowed slightly, looking like a weak scholar.
"Naturally, Childe just waits. The old bustard blurted out without saying a word.
"Thank you, girl. Xiao Wuji continued to read, with a grateful look on his face.
Seeing this, the old bustard smiled shyly with the silk handkerchief, then turned around and walked out.
After the old bustard left, Ruan Wushuang finally couldn't help laughing. Xiao Wuji saw Ruan Wushuang, who was holding his waist and smiling happily, raised his eyebrows, and said in an unkind tone: "Little girl, do you know who I sacrificed so much?"
It's not all for her, although they can go to find it one by one, but after walking into this Rouge Pavilion and looking at the layout of this building, he immediately decided to change the method, otherwise when everyone is gone, it is possible that they haven't found it yet, and this method is much simpler.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang coughed unnaturally and stopped laughing, and the most obvious smile was between his eyebrows and eyes, and at the corners of his mouth.
Seeing this, Xiao Wuji Fang snorted coldly, and sat down on the chair with his robe. Peach Blossom narrowed her eyes and said lazily:
"Finally, I still have a little conscience. ”
"Huh. Ruan Wushuang was speechless, so he had to laugh dryly.
As soon as the words fell, the bustard pushed open the door and walked in, followed by the white crane who had been tied up by people.
"Childe, this white crane, the little woman brought it to you. The old bustard said with the posture of a little daughter's family, as if Xiaoji was her person.
This situation made the smile in Ruan Wushuang's heart surge again, and looking at Xiao Wuji's fleeting distortion, he couldn't help but laugh even more happily in his heart. And the little guys who carried the white crane in almost didn't vomit a sound, and their lowered faces were all forced to laugh.
Xiao Wuji held back the churning in his heart, subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then stood up, if he hadn't finished his business, he would have beaten this disgusting old bustard a long time ago.
"Thank you. Xiao Wuji didn't dare to call the girl anymore, he was now very afraid of what amazing words the bustard would come from.
"Oh, why should the son be polite to the little girl!" the old bustard said coquettishly.
Xiaoji's face twisted and flashed for a moment, and then he stiffened the corners of his mouth twice, and the fist hidden under his sleeve trembled slightly, he was now trying his best to resist the urge to punch someone to death.
Ruan Wushuang raised his eyes and glanced at the roof, and couldn't bear to look at it, and the little guys who knew the old bustard's temperament also forcibly held back the smile that seemed to erupt in their chests. It was the drunken white crane who vomited out of the situation.
Suddenly, the air in the whole room quieted down, and the old bustard turned around unhappily, with a look of wanting to kill the white crane. Then without saying a word, he twisted his plump waist and stepped forward, and kicked the white crane wildly.
Bai He was in a daze, and he only felt as if he was being beaten by some sledgehammer.
After relieving his anger, the old bustard snorted, and when he turned to look at Xiao Wuji, he raised his hand to cut his hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, Childe will be handed over to you here, the little girl still has something to do, so I won't greet Childe in person." ”
"Good. Xiao Wuji smiled, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped.
After the bustard took the little maid out, only Ruan Wushuang who was smiling was left in the house, Bai He who was "unconscious" on the ground, and Xiaoji, whose face was distorted.
"Mowgli, this is the first time you've ever been so reliable. Ruan Wushuang said with a smile.
"You don't have to be sarcastic about me. Xiao Wuji said helplessly, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, walked to Bai He and said, "You should use a way to wake him up." ”
The rather gloomy tone obviously sent the grievances he had just suffered on Bai He's body.
"Cold water is poured out faster. Ruan Wushuang said and looked around, suddenly froze on the vase with the bouquet, there should be water in it.
Thinking like this, Ruan Wushuang walked over leisurely, picked up the vase and saw that there was really water in it, and glanced at Xiao Wuji, then Shi Shiran walked to Xiao Wuji's side, and then poured all the water in the vase on Bai He's body.
The icy water was like a cold wind blowing into the bones for the white crane, and gradually his divine consciousness began to turn around, and the white crane only felt that the whole person was in pain, and the cold was incomprehensible.
The eyes gradually became clearer, and a vague figure came into view, thinking that it was the girl in the building, but after the eyes were clear, Bai He was immediately stunned on the spot.
I saw two people with different expressions standing in front of me, with a fierce and cold face, eager to eat his appearance, one with a faint expression, and no trace of warmth between his eyebrows, this ...... Isn't this the guy who beat him up last night? Why are they here?
